Jack Monroe #486 Things like carrots and onions are widely sold in many other places for similar prices

There’s also this, which made me hoot:

It’s a Jack Monroe recipe but I didn’t have the ingredients so I made something else and it tastes nice.

Jack’s blurb from the Greenbelt site. I’d laugh if it wasn’t such a load of rubbish

That's another 10-15k in the bank for her. Kerching!

Can't tell if that is a pisstake or genuine? Reminds me of the woman asking Nigel Slater for an aubergine substitute in an aubergine recipe!

Just for grins, I priced pig heads where I live. $80. I guess if you have no other hobbies, boiling pig ephemera sounds like a hoot. A hoot.

Jack’s blurb from the Greenbelt site. I’d laugh if it wasn’t such a load of rubbish. It’s interesting to note that between the penultimate and last paragraph there are nine missing years of Jack’s activism.

So basically “Jack Monroe has not actually accomplished anything of note since being a mildly influential gay and saying that Tanzanian poverty was just like her own back in 2014.”

ETA I wonder if she’ll DRAMATIC PAUSE again while telling her stupid hugely embellished sob story lies to Greenbelt? Do you think she’ll tonelessly warble for them again?

 

[Hold my beans]

Omg, spaniel friend!

Found these wee beauties on Instagram.

I knew that pic reminded me of something

Spoiler

It looks like it comes from one of those campaigns that used to terrify us kids of the ‘80s

Highly unlikely it's anything close to that

She talked to him for HALF AN HOUR, (despite tweeting incessantly the entire time)

And she would have brought him home but she’s NOT ALLOWED HOMELESS VISITORS, OK?!

Well, if anyone was ever in any doubt that Jack Monroe has never done any frontline work, that tweet is all they need to confirm it.

None of us who have actually worked with street homeless people would ever fantasise about taking them home. Not because we don’t like them, not because we are horrible bastards, not because we don’t think that having a home is a crucial part of getting your life back together. But because we know that for the majority of people who end up on the streets, it’s because of very complex factors - often lifelong - that we cannot fix. Those factors cause chaotic lives. And you just cannot have that chaos in your own home, especially not as a single woman with a kid ffs.

Taking someone home with you isn’t going to sort his life out. If he’s on the streets in that location he actually has access to the best homelessness support services in the entire country, operated by serious homelessness experts and leaders in developing better services. And if they can’t fix it for him, nobody else can, and Jack bleeping Monroe certainly can’t.
She’s such an insufferable head.

Anyone know why Eva Green is picking her nose in parliament?

It's also hugely patronising. She's talking about a human being like he's a cute ickle kitten in a kennel at the local RSPCA.

RICE LEFTOVER FROM A FEW DAYS AGO.

It's a no from me.

EXACTLY!
I might have to stop myself here on this particular angle, cos her ignorance and self importance have pissed me right off, and this is something I really care about. I had to get off frontline work - most of us do at some point - because of burnout, I had no emotions to spare except anger, which was bottomless. she hasn’t got a damn clue.

Interesting that she never turns up with a stick or shoulder brace at these speaking engagements innit.

 

[Sweetpea2]

Just a random thought which has been whizzing around my brain since this morning....I wonder how many Fraus have coins from Jack's guardian photo shoot in their purses at this very moment....makes me glad to be an actual German Frau and only have Euros in my purse

 

[shugabug23]

Oh you’re so bleeping quirky Jack

ETA: akshual Irish people call them crubeens and they can be expensive as f*ck in some places where they’re done up as a delicacy Also, a pot of water for boiling pigs trotters has to weigh a helluva lot on that ouchy shoulder you moron!

 

[HotesTilaire]

Also, if the Guardian got it wrong or misrepresented it, it’s them who has to “clarify”. Which they haven’t done. Presumably because they’ve got Jack’s honking voice on tape confirming that she did indeed spaff Patreon money on sideboards and other assorted tat.

Yes she said there were two tape recorders used to tape it so I look forward to the release of the audio, to clear things up once and for all

 

[Valiofthedolls]

Oh you’re so bleeping quirky Jack

Except it’s not “feet” is it you twit? Pigs “feet” are called trotters.

Can’t wait for Deep South Georgia Y’all Jack to pretend she’s making chitlins. God I bleeping loathe this tiresome dipshit.

 

[Lucy Aeroplane]

Urgh, she’s speaking at the Greenbelt Festival. I hope she doesn’t break out into ‘kum-by-a muthafuckers’. ETA Poster attached and a lone dissenting squig
She’s not going to need a stab vest for that line up.

Omg, spaniel friend!

Are we seriously seeing the first steps of The Great Rehabilation of Jack Monroe’s Image? Despite the fact she’s done literally no penance for the wrongs she is in fact still doing? Like … what the actual duck people? This is ridiculous. We're supposed to have some sort of standards and accountability aren’t we? Oh but then the press is supposed to be a big part of accountability in this country. So if the press aren’t bothering to do anything about Jack Monroe then I guess we’ve got bleeping nothing. This is all so wrong.

 

[Feck]

Oh you’re so bleeping quirky Jack

Pictures or ir it didn't happen, Monroe. If you were actually boiling a pig, you would have said trotters. She's such a fantasist.

(I will laugh up a pigs lung if she ends up having to buy a pig's head to prove the doubters wrong.)

 

[ChickenPorridge]

She's so grim, the kid must dread Tuesdays at this point. I mean I know she's talking bollox and just trying to get people going. God, I hope the vegans start on her
